55 Best Heist Movies of All Time Ranked by Looper - Page 2

"If heists didn't exist, the movies would have to invent them. Sure, we all know and appreciate the rules of orderly, law-abiding existence — but it's just so purely entertaining to watch characters break them for fun and profit. No wonder there are so many great heist movies out there: The genre has a guaranteed hook few cinephiles can resist. This foundation also allows for a lot of creative freedom. For every lighthearted, breezy caper where the thieves have hearts of gold, there's a gritty and blood-spattered look at the darkest corners of the criminal world. Characters can be clueless amateurs, hardened professionals, and everything in between. As long as the movie keeps us hooked — and maybe makes us idly daydream about whether or not we could pull this off ourselves — it's doing its job. All 55 heist movies on this list do that and then some, making them the all-time best of the genre." - looper.com
